Installation and General Instructions
General Use
1. In order to maintain high quality, do not operate
the oven when empty. The microwave energy will
reflect continuously throughout the oven if no
food or water is present to absorb energy.
2. If smoke is observed, press the
Stop/Reset
Pad and leave door closed in order to stifle any
flames. Disconnect the power cord, and/or shut
off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
3. Do not dry clothes, newspapers or other
materials in oven. They may catch on fire.
4. Do not use recycled paper products, unless the
paper product is labelled as safe for microwave
oven use. Recycled paper products may contain
impurities which may cause sparks and/or fires
when used.
5. Do not use newspapers or paper bags for
cooking.
6. Do not hit or strike the Control Panel. Damage to
controls may occur.
7. POT HOLDERS may be needed as heat from
food is transferred to the cooking container and
from the container to the Glass Tray. The
GlassTray can be very hot after removing the
cooking container from the oven.
8. Do not store flammable materials next to, on top
of, or in the oven. It could be a fire hazard.
9. Do not cook food directly on Glass Tray unless
indicated in recipes. (Food should be placed in a
suitable cooking utensil.)
10.
DO NOT use this oven to heat chemicals or other
non-food products.
DO NOT clean this oven with
any product that is labelled as containing
corrosive chemicals.
The heating of corrosive
chemicals in this oven may cause microwave
radiation leaks.
Placement of Oven
1. The oven must be placed on a flat, stable
surface. For correct operation, the oven must
have sufficient air flow.
Allow 15 cm of space
on the top of the oven, 10 cm at the back, and
5 cm on both sides. If one side of the oven is
placed flush to wall, the other side or top
must not be blocked. Do not remove feet.
a. Do not block air vents. If they are blocked
during operation, the oven may overheat. The
oven will remain inoperable until it has cooled.
b. Do not place oven near a hot or damp surface
such as a gas stove, electric range
or sink
etc.
c. Do not operate oven when room humidity is
too high.
2. This oven was manufactured for household use
only.
3. This microwave oven is designed and approved
for counter top use only. Failure due to built-in
installation may void the warranty.
Circuits
Your microwave oven should be operated on a
separate 10 A circuit from other appliances. Failure
to do this may cause the power board fuse to blow,
and/or food to cook slower. Do not insert higher
value fuse in the power board.
Food
1. Do not use your oven for home canning or the
heating of any closed jar. Pressure will build up
and the jar may explode. In addition, the
microwave oven cannot maintain the food at the
correct canning temperature. Improperly canned
food may spoil and be dangerous to consume.
2. Do not attempt to deep fat fry in your microwave
oven.
3. Do not boil eggs in their shell and whole hard-
boiled eggs (unless otherwise stated in Cooking
Guide section). Pressure will build up and the
eggs will explode.
4. Potatoes, apples, egg yolks, chicken wings, whole
squash and sausages are examples of foods with
nonporous skins. This type of food must be
pierced before cooking, to prevent bursting.
5. When heating liquids, e.g. soup, sauces and
beverages, in your microwave oven, overheating
the liquid beyond boiling point can occur without
evidence of bubbling. This could result in a
sudden boil over of hot liquid. To prevent this
possibility the following steps should be taken:
a) Avoid using straight-sided containers with
narrow necks.
b) Do not overheat.
c) Stir the liquid before placing the container in
the oven and halfway through cooking time.
d) After heating, allow to stand in the oven for a
short time, stirring again before carefully
removing the container.
6.
DO NOT USE A CONVENTIONAL MEAT
THERMOMETER IN THE MICROWAVE OVEN.
To check the degree of cooking of roasts and
poultry use a MICROWAVE THERMOMETER.
Alternatively, a conventional meat thermometer
may be used after the food is removed from the
oven. If undercooked, return meat or poultry to
the oven and cook for a few more minutes at the
recommended power level. It is important to
ensure that meat and poultry are thoroughly
cooked.
7.
COOKING TIMES given in the Cooking Guide
section are APPROXIMATE.
Factors that may
affect cooking time are preferred degree of
moisture content, starting temperature, altitude,
volume, size, shape of food and utensils used.
As you become familiar with the oven, you will be
able to adjust for these factors.
8.
It is better to UNDERCOOK RATHER THAN
OVERCOOK foods.
If food is undercooked, it
can always be returned to the oven for further
cooking. If food is overcooked, nothing can be
done. Always start with minimum cooking times
recommended.
9. Extreme care should be taken when cooking
popcorn in a microwave oven. Cook for minimum
time as recommended by manufacturer. Use the
directions suitable for the wattage of your
microwave oven. NEVER leave oven unattended
when popping popcorn.
10. When heating food in plastic or paper containers,
check the oven frequently due to the possibility of
ignition.
11. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food
jars are to be stirred or shaken and the
temperature is to be checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
